[GAME] Common English sayings

[Liv]

Hi everyone,

I don’t know about you, but I’m still over the moon about having emojis in the Community, so I have come up with a game still in celebration of the new feature.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I have translated 32 common English language sayings into emojis below. Can you guess which ones they are?

Be warned that there are some very British ones suggested by the amazing @Stephanie 😎

Also, please remember: many hands make light work, therefore let’s make sure everyone gets a chance to play. 

Break a leg! ✨

✨Hint: don't forget to consider the first emoji 😶

[Helen350]

@Liv What is the first emoji? - It's a blank square on my old laptop (As is the case with several of them.)

[Stephanie]

@Helen350 

It's a sock!

This screenshot should help those having trouble with emoji compatibility.

And here's a new one just for hosts.   This is what happens when you have a newbie booking with no previous reviews, in for just one night, they leave mess everywhere, crayon on the kitchen table, child wets the single bed doona and all 3 European pillows, his mum washes them and puts covers back on but doona and pillows are still wet and you don't discover this until 24 hours later when beds are striped.  The newbie guest is high maintenance, asks tons of questions that are already answered in your listing photo captions, loses the key as soon as they arrive, loses the tv remote, and then you have go into the apartment to find the remote for them (on the floor in plain sight).  Said guest gives you 5 stars in 5 out of 6 categories and then gives you an overall rating of 4.  Your hosting score instantly sinks from 4.94 to 4.88 and you know it's all uphill again trying to get back your 4.94 rating.  Ready?? 🙂

😠✂️🐍  Can you guess?
